Blah Blah Woof Woof comments on CDDB http://vault.openmonkey.com/ en-us 40 Blah Blah Woof Woof comments "CDDB" by triley <p>I have been reencoding some of my music into <span class="caps">AAC</span> since getting an iMac. Whenever I do this I am reminded about how awfully corrupt some of the <span class="caps">CDDB</span>/GraceNotes database is. For someone picky about his metadata, the misspellings, inconsistent capitalisation, and wrong track titles are terrible. I shared my true feelings with my friend <a href="http://vidar.gimp.org">Vidar</a>:</p> <p><strong>Safari_Al:</strong> Using <span class="caps">CDDB</span> is like walking into a bar and saying, &#8220;Pour me a cheap beer into a used glass! And hey, throw some old needles in there while you&#8217;re at it!&#8221;</p> <p><strong>Vidar:</strong> &#8220;You want broken glass with that?&#8221;</p> <p><strong>Safari_Al:</strong> &#8220;Only if it&#8217;s bloodied.&#8221;</p> Mon, 28 Nov 2005 07:22:00 PST <a href="/articles/2005/11/28/cddb">CDDB</a> <a href="/articles/2005/11/28/cddb">CDDB</a>
